What to Cook This Week

Sam Sifton emails readers of Cooking five days a week to talk about food and suggest recipes. That email also appears here. To receive it in your inbox, register here. Download the NYT Cooking app here.

Then on Monday: some cinnamon rolls for breakfast alongside mugs of hot chocolate in the style of Rumplemayer’s. A nap on the couch followed by leftovers. A quick accounting of resolutions for the coming year: email inboxes at 0; more time exercising; save a little money somehow, against the fear that all won’t work out just right. Dinner: longevity noodles with chicken, ginger and mushrooms. Whatever works.

Thursday: kimchi soup. Please. It’s time to start making that at least once a month.

And you can round out the week with roast chicken because that’s a fine tradition to have. Try Melissa’s recipe this week: four ingredients in high heat and all to the good. Have some panettone left over on the counter from all your holiday excess, going stale? That’s dessert right there: Tejal’s delicious panettone bread pudding to cook while you eat the bird.

Thousands and thousands more recipes to cook this week are at NYT Cooking. Yes, you’ll need a subscription to access and organize them, to leave notes on them, to rate them, to send them to friends. So sign up today if you haven’t already, and I give you my thanks.

Do reach out to us if anything goes sideways while you’re using our technology or cooking the recipes: cookingcare@nytimes.com. We’ll get back to you soon as we can in order to sort things out. And you can always find us on social media, where our handle is @nytfood. But not if you’re angry! For that, fire away solely at me: foodeditor@nytimes.com. Thanks so much.

Now, let’s not let 2017 come to an end without taking a look at the compilation of best stories of the year. (For comparison’s sake, take a look at David Brooks’s cut at a similar list, in The Times.) Plenty of good reading there, and maybe the best accompaniment is Daniil Trifonov’s “Chopin Evocations,” which you can listen to on Spotify. I wish you a peaceful good evening full of cheer. See you next year!
